From a legacy database to a domain map in four steps

You bring the database and the codebase. Your AI agent does the reading.

  1. Connect the databaseEvery table drawn as a live ERD at once. Missing foreign keys are inferred and drawn dashed.
  2. Ask your agent to organize itIt reads your code, and the schema from Schemity over MCP.
  3. Review what it didEvery step is in History, one undo away. Nothing is saved until you save.
  4. Read the module dependenciesEach domain is a node; each arrow counts the real foreign keys.
How the Context Map works → Tested on a 1,035-table schema with 1,822 relations →
02 · See the impact

Every schema change, drawn and priced before it runs

Your agent edits the diagram, or writes a schema migration in your codebase. Either way, the change stops here first.

The agent proposesDeletes ask you first, and it never holds database credentials.
You see it drawnDropped in red, added in green. A rename written as DROP and ADD shows as exactly that.
You read the costLost rows, failing statements, table rewrites, dependent views and triggers. What it can't classify is listed, not skipped.
Only you migrateNothing touches the database until you click Migrate.

03 · Design the next one

The diagram is the input, not the output

Think on the map: route every relationship line where it helps you see the design, then let the SQL come from it. A foreign key targets the parent's primary key, cardinality follows its uniqueness, and a draft stays dashed until it exists, so an ERD that looks valid is valid.

Smart relationships1:N, 1:1, N:N by drag. Junction tables built for you.
Import SQL or DBMLCREATE TABLE, a dump, or a .dbml file.
Schema lintTwenty-six classes of problem, on the canvas.
Check constraintsAllowed values, one keystroke away.
Inferred relationsForeign keys the database never declared, dashed.
JSON in GitA file you own, reviewed as a diff.

Works with your agent

Give your agent the schema. Keep the key to the database.

Schemity is a local database MCP server with 16 tools. Reads are free and change nothing; edits are staged for you to review.

Understand4Schema, context views, data dictionary, lint findings.
Measure4Pending changes, impact analysis, row counts, migration files.
Show4Draw a migration or a set of tables on your canvas.
Organize and propose4Stage entities, group legends, route relations.

Why it's safe

Every property holds whether the hands on the diagram are yours or an agent's

It reads your database

A real connection, re-synced every time you open the diagram, so it never drifts from what is deployed.

The diagram is a file you own

Plain JSON in a folder you choose, reviewed in a pull request like any other change.

Only valid designs can be drawn

Keys, cardinality and names follow the rules a database enforces.

Your agent never gets credentials

A local server, no vendor cloud, and the schema goes only where your agent already sends your code.

No meter on your model

One purchase. No limit on tables, diagrams, workspaces or context views.

Nothing for us to leak

A device ID and your country, for licensing. Nothing that identifies you.

Coming from other data modeling software? Honest comparisons: ChartDB alternative, dbdiagram.io alternative, DbSchema alternative, DrawSQL alternative.
